Abstract: OTS has determined that some institutions involved in asset securitization activities have significant weaknesses in their asset securitization practices. Thrift management will use these information collections as the basis for the safe and sound operation of their asset securitization activities and to ensure that they minimize operational risk in these activities. OTS will use this information to evaluate the quality of an institution's risk management practices. OTS will also use the information to assist institutions without supervision of their asset securitization activities to implement corrective action to conduct these activities in a safe and sound manner.

Short Statement: OTS is citing an increase in the inventory burden due to the agency recalculating the response time from 10 hours to 20 hours.
